Excerpt

Three thousand of us, students and faculty, have lived here together. It is a colorful thing, this life of ours. Men thronging into classrooms, lonely seekers for new truth in laboratories, teams struggling on athletic fields, men making music and drama, building new universes late at night, meeting, organizing, failing, succeeding, dreaming, playing, working, building lives, planning careers. We have come together from many places; we go out from here to scatter widely. But from now on we shall always have something in common. We have been parts of a living, growing enterprise — a university with a fine tradition, a significant present, and a hopeful future. This book, through the years that follow, will be a link that binds us all together. May the memories it shall bring strengthen the bond that links you forever to the University of North Carolina.
